Help!! My Teen Feels “Controlled” and “Different”! How to Hold Standards Without Resentment or Rebellion
Manage episode 496059498 series 2540913

Does your teen complain that they feel “controlled,” “left out,” or “different” from their friends because of your family’s standards?
Are you worried that your rules might push them into rebellion—or cause them to resent you?
In this candid conversation, we break down exactly how to hold high standards without creating resentment, rebellion, or emotional distance.
We’ll teach you how to stop parenting from the couch, stop obsessing over control, and start using CONVICTION to convince your kids to OWN the highest standards for themselves.
When kids feel like they’re missing out — screens, video games, or anything — it usually means we as parents need to create a family culture that is more fun, more adventurous, and more rewarding than the alternatives.
In this episode, we share practical ways to help your kids understand the why behind your high standards — and how to make your life—and your family’s life—so attractive and meaningful that your kids want to choose those standards for themselves.
Key Takeaways:
✅ How to parent without punishment or power struggles
✅ Why setting high standards actually prevents rebellion
✅ How to create real family connection—not just rules
✅ The power of family adventure trips to shift your child’s perspective
✅ Why YOU need to keep leveling up if you want your kids to grow
If you’re ready to parent from conviction (not control), this episode is for you.
